More info needed :!:
plus, some punctuation in your post would make it clearer

do you have a copper, hot water storage cylinder (in the airing cupboard) :?:
is the cylinder "indirect"
is there a pressure gauge on the boiler or on the pipe work :?:

It sounds like you might have a hole in the cylinder coil caused by corrosion, this is allowing water to move from the hot water cylinder into the central heating circuit. Water may be getting drawn into the central heating system causing the overflow from the (small black plastic :?: ) expansion tank.
